<p>I have a number of fiction pieces on Kindle books. One piece has been removed and the only reason I can think of is that one of their corporate reviewers didn't like the idea that the main character who was on a summer job between high school and college had one of her first sexual experiences. The description was explicit but not lurid and certainly wasn't "dirty." It was sensitive. Not only that, her partner was age appropriate.

<p>I have a number of fiction pieces on Kindle books. One piece has been removed and the only reason I can think of is that one of their corporate reviewers didn't like the idea that the main character who was on a summer job between high school and college had one of her first sexual experiences. The description was explicit but not lurid and certainly wasn't "dirty." It was sensitive. Not only that, her partner was age appropriate. Her age was never stated explicitly, so she might have been anywhere from seventeen to nineteen. </p>
<p>The problem with Kindle is that if you get a notice that a book has violated their Terms of Service (or whatever they call them), that's all they say. Every effort for them to explain further or let me read the reviewer's report (which would make it possible to fix the problem) fell on deaf ears. They seem to take great pride in being unhelpful. The jerks.</p> Thanks guys! There will certa…tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2013-07-08:1982180:Comment:13493482013-07-08T14:44:27.614ZJoehttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/Joe5

<p>Joe, I like your rant. Thanks.</p>

<p>I would certainly call it censorship. And you're fully in the right for being angry, and taking offense to it. As far as protests go, they will only get as far as the shock-blockers will allow. As soon as it becomes enough of an issue, one of two things will happen. Either the people will rise up and demand to be heard and seen uncensored, or whichever venue that such art or expression would be displayed will likely censor or in most cases outright ban said material.

It's easier to shut someone up than it is to cover up what's been said.

<p>It is getting more frequent I am getting temporary blocked for 30 days on facebook,because of the censorship of my art... deviantArt in 2004 was a great site which did not frown on the natural beauty of artistic nudes and sensuality. Sensuality is reality, experienced with the senses. I had been protesting on deviantart against art censorship, they had been blinded that they were censored...They eventually banned me of over 200 policy violations and my protest had become in vain, and many websites adopted deviantart's ideas of morality and censorship, where they fail to understand the origins of the perception of morality, coming from a judeo-christain foundation on what is decent and what is not. If the people of the Brazilian rain forest conquered Europe, woman would be walking topless.</p>
<p> If you cant call this censorship, then what is it ?</p>
